***the following I pulled off of a website, it is the king comeback***
A report was being presented on the radio the other day, and overheard was one of the all-time best comeback lines ever made.
Note: This is an exact replication of National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster, and US Army General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation.
Female Interviewer: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?"
General Reinwald: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting."
Female Interviewer: "Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?"
General Reinwald: "I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range."
Female Interviewer: "Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?"
General Reinwald: "I don't see how, ...we will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm."
Female Interviewer: "But you're equipping them to become violent killers."
General Reinwald: "Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?"
The radio went silent and the interview ended.
